For those who use GrapheneOS, is it worth it? Do you like it?
My backups are done, all that is left is the final choice to wipe my whole phone.

@pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip was correct: Even a single GOS profile is already much better than normal Android. You can read up all the security stuff GOS offers in Settings/Security and Privacy. A lot of those features are already much better than stock Android, e.g. strict control over USB c, spawn app securely, wifi/BT auto off…etc.
As to your question about logic in using diff securities, GOS is the only OS that allows you to have many profiles. These profiles are completely isolated from each other. You have your own keylock, user for each profile. That is much more powerful that stuff like Peivate Space (stock Android has) or even Samsung Secure Folder. So I want to make the best use for these features…
That and we have too much personal and sensitive stuff on our phones nowdays. I’m not talking about normal stuff like emails and photos. I meant online banking apps, identity card app that each country for some reasons force citizens to install…And everything else, literally everything has an app.
Anyway…
Initially i went with: 1 owner profile (the one you started originally), 1 media profile, 1 bank profile and 1 daily profile. You know like completely compartmentalize your life.
This works BUT there is a lot of inconvenience. .E.g. if i see an article in Vanadium in daily and want to share it to whatsapp/viber/signal which live in media, i cant.
So I then went with: 1 owner profile and 1 sensitive profile…So all the things that are very important to me like banks, IC app I put in sensitive. .Everything else I put in owner. Note: in sensitive profile, I do not user fingerprint; I set a long password for that.
Hope that helps.
